[edit]Transformers In Alaska: Damaged Ship on The High Sea
[edit]News reports are coming in about a wrecked oil tanker off the coast of Alaska, getting the attention of Decepticon leader Megatron. Carried by Dreadwing and Darkwing, he and a group of Decepticons storm the tanker. Upon arrival, he threatens to smash it, and the tanker captain soon surrenders. The Decepticons immediately begin draining the oil.
Luckily, their plans do not go unnoticed. Powermaster Optimus Prime and an Autobot convoy drive from Mount St. Hilary to a nearby airfield, where they pile into a Blackrock transport plane. On the way, Bumblebee, Wheel Jack, and Skids devise a plan.
Soon, the transport plane arrives! It drops the Autobot Pretenders—Cloudburst, Landmine, and Waverider—onto a floating raft. The three leap out of their shells, transform, and surround the Decepticons, while destroying the pipes they use to drain the oil. Right then, the rest of the Autobots parachute down. They grab the pipelines, stop the Decepticons from draining the oil, and pull the Decepticons’ rafts away from them.
Optimus Prime gives the helpless, floating Megatron the opportunity to surrender, but then Dreadwind and Darkwing swoop by! The Decepticons grab on to the two jets and make their escape! Prime orders his troops not to follow, but to help the humans. After two hours of work, the Autobots stop the leak. Soon after, the Pretenders gather up the spilled oil. The Autobot could not prevent the disaster, but they did their best to help… (source)

[edit]Notes
[edit]- The reprint title is translated as "All Power to the Robot-Master!"
- The Autobots' transport is provided by G.B. Blackrock, consistent with their deal in the mainstream comic.
- In the text story, Wheeljack is consistently called "Wheel Jack". This is also the case in issue #9 and issue #15
- Hilariously, Megatron's new “flying start” troop transport involves Dreadwing, already in motion, hooking a giant box crammed full of Decepticons. Hardly seems like a solution to their "transportation problem".
Errors
[edit]- At one point, Darkwing is called "Darkstar". Unlike others, this is a one-off.
